Altrincham, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

A dream role at one of the National Trust’s Treasure House properties in the North of England. You’ll undertake day to day care and cleaning of the historic collections and property. Working part time on a 7 day rota within the house team, you’ll share your work with visitors and volunteers, bringing to life the history of Dunham Massey.

**Salary**:£11.64 per hour

**Hours**:We're looking for someone who can work three regular weekdays (to be agreed) 9:15am - 3pm. There will be some weekend working too; you’ll be required to work 1 Sunday in 3, as part of the team rota.

**Contract**:This is a fixed term opportunity for two years, running until the end of July 2026.

**Interview**:Wednesday 3rd July or Friday 4th July and will take place at Dunham Massey.

What it's like to work here:Dunham Massey is a 3,000-acre estate situated approximately 10 miles south of central Manchester and three miles south of Altrincham. Roger Grey, 10th Earl of Stamford, gave it to the National Trust in 1976 and today it attracts over 500,000 visitors a year.

Our Collections and House Team thrive in a busy environment, working collaboratively to improve care of and access to our collection. We are a supportive and friendly team, who work hard but always find time to have a cup of tea and catch up.

**Due to our rural location, access to your own transport to get here would be beneficial.**

**Please note this role is very physical due to the requirements for cleaning the visitor route each day, and handling collection furniture and objects.**

What you'll be doing:As a Collections Assistant, you’ll be working with a great housekeeping team in an incredible place, helping with the day-to-day cleaning and care of the collections. No detail will go unnoticed, and you’ll keep a keen eye on everything from the environmental conditions in a room, to signs of wear and tear. The job is very physical, and you will spend most of your shift on your feet

Away from the day-to-day presentation of the house, the Collections team are focusing on the stored collections, tackling deep cleans and helping to improve the backlog of collections management work. The role will also involve working alongside and supervising volunteers whilst delivering Conservation in Action to our visitors each day the house is open.

**Please also read the full role profile, attached to this advert.**

Who we're looking forWe'd love to hear from you if you have;
- A team player, but can also work on your own initiative
- Well organised and adaptable
- Customer focused with a positive attitude
- Willing to learn new skills
- Good manual dexterity and hand-to-eye skills and ability to work from ladders and tower scaffold

The packageThe National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
- Substantial pension scheme of up to 10% basic salary
- Free entry to National Trust places for you, a guest and your children (under 18)
- Tax-free childcare scheme
- Rental deposit loan scheme
- Season ticket loan
- EV car lease scheme
